Booz Allen Ventures, TPG detail their newest tech company backings
Summary
Booz Allen Ventures has backed Second Front Systems, a developer of cloud-based software for national security programs in the U.S. and allied countries. For its part, Booz Allen will use Second Fronts flagship Game Warden agile development product to test and evaluate software in secure environments. This global investment firm added a significant U.S. government cyber footing back in the summer when it acquired the Forcepoint public sector business for approximately $2.45 billion. In the fall, Sayari was awarded a $7.8 million contract to provide its product to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency in support of efforts to identify illicit shipments and forced labor violations. “This strategic partnership marks a crucial milestone in Sayari’s journey to revolutionize the landscape of risk intelligence technology as we launch our second product, a new fully automated supply chain screening platform leveraging our industry leading knowledge graph alongside cutting edge technologies," Sayaris co-founder and chief executive Farley Mesko said in a release.
